Chapter 2046: Mountain Village, Night
On a moonlit night, Zhao Min and Gong Chenying sat under the old locust tree, the huge full moon in the sky was as cool as water, and the clear light was scattered in the small mountain village, making the distant mountains and near things distinct.
Looking at the busy crowd around him, as well as the strong men and girls who had just boiled and fried and were overflowing with fragrant food in the shuttle, Zhao Min passed by through them, and his eyes showed amazement to himself and Gong Chenying, but he didn't know what to do at this time.
The women washed the vegetables and added to the fire, and several women in the village who were good at cooking led by Li Yu were shuttling back and forth in front of several cauldrons, and from time to time there were flames several feet high in Li Yu's ostentatious pot, and a "suddenly" sound rose, startling the surrounding village children who were drooling in a burst of exclamation, and suddenly avoided it far away.
Aunt Chang was also busy, either running home to take out ingredients or condiments, or she was busy wiping the tables and stools with a few women trying to form a circle around a few old locust trees.
In the distance, some of the young adults set up wooden frames, on which were hung half of the demon beasts, and were wielding knives to chop meat; some were constantly transporting firewood, while Li Guoxin, together with Chang Bo and several other elders in the village, pulled Li Yan in a circle and kept talking, occasionally patting the little heads of the children running around them with his hands, laughing and scolding them to say things like "lighter, don't fall".
Although there are some villagers who just gather together to chat, and occasionally come forward to help, most of the time they peek at the second daughter with their eyes, but they don't dare to come forward to talk, only dare to whisper from afar.
In the meantime, Gong Chenying stood up and wanted to help clean up the tables and stools, Zhao Min also stood up, but as soon as the second daughter took a step, she was hurried over by Aunt Chang, who was staring at her from time to time, and reprimanded a few people nearby, "Xiaoshan mother, how can you mothers-in-law be so blind, but let the distinguished guest Zhang Luo ......" while half-pushing and half-pulling, he invited the second daughter to sit under the old locust tree, smiled meaningfully, and chattered again in the voice of the women, and went to work neatly.
Zhao Min looked at the glance in front of her, it was so strange, all this was incompatible with her imagination, and a strange feeling was born in her heart, although she and Gong Chenying were sitting here so abruptly, but looking at the respectful gaze of the people around them, there was a natural and respectful expression on their faces, as if all this was so harmonious.
"Sister Ying, is there such a scene in your hometown?" Smelling the fragrance of acacia flowers above his head, and listening to the noisy and energetic sounds around him, Zhao Min suddenly spoke.
Gong Chenying was looking at the flames rising from the stove in the distance, a little dazed, and suddenly heard the voice of Zhao Min beside her, she slowly turned her head and looked at Zhao Min, and then saw the full moon through the gap between the branches and leaves hanging in front of her.
"When the clan sacrifices, there are still some similarities, but there is no such fireworks atmosphere, more solemn, every time I participate, in addition to being ordered to strictly abide by the rules of the race at the time of the sacrifice, the rest is just a day of constant fear, for fear of a certain link in the pool of their own business. ”
She paused when she said this, and then continued, "Cultivating immortals is more lonely and less of the taste of this world. As she spoke, her gaze turned to a fire stand, where a whole demon beast the size of a calf was being rolled and roasted, and bursts of strong incense came over.
"Even if you forget the taste of eating, it is common not to eat or drink for months and years, and it is the life of a monk to cultivate, fight, grab resources, and cultivate again. ”
"Then why are so many people and so many families still rushing to cultivate immortals, even if they give up everything. Zhao Min also looked at the demon beast in the tumbling barbecue, his eyes were dumbfounded.
"Maybe it's in pursuit of more powerful power, but it's also reluctant to be glorious for a lifetime, and wants to live forever, but when I really set foot on this road, I found that the glory and wealth are all clouds, only the road full of blood and struggles to move forward, and then look back, the enemy family is already behind him, and the power cultivated is never enough. Gong Chenying muttered.
"He had, I only remember it for a short time. Zhao Min suddenly said something that was clueless. tower
Gong Chenying's beautiful eyes looked at Zhao Min's beautiful face like carved jade in the moonlight, "It's inconvenient to feel a little bit again when you come here today, isn't it?"
Zhao Min was stunned, she remembered that when the old woman held her hand, the motherly warmth spread throughout her body, and the curiosity and enthusiasm of the people in the village who respected the two of them were not at all like the people of the Immortal Sect or the family when they saw her, although they also had respect, she could see in their eyes fear, even greed. These made her feel a strangeness in her heart from the moment she stepped into the mountain village and fields today, and she didn't want to push away from this strangeness in her heart.
Thinking about it, Zhao Min's thin strips of face, which seemed to have been frozen, slowly softened, but she was stunned and didn't notice it.
Suddenly, the noise became a little louder, and at the same time, accompanied by a sound of footsteps from far and near, the second daughter looked up, only to see the strong village chief and Li Yan walking towards here, Li Yan looked at them with a smile on his face.
Li Guoxin and a few people came to the big locust tree, he slapped each other's big hands in the air, looked at the more than a dozen tables that were already serving steaming delicacies, and said loudly, "Okay, okay, Brother Yan is going home today, but I also know that he is now a big official of the imperial court, but he has really brought blessings to the village in the past few years." In addition, there are distinguished guests coming to the door, this is a big event, and the next thing is to open this banquet, but I can say ugly things in front, and I can't lose my sense of proportion if I drink too much, and I lose my face in front of the distinguished guests, but ...... If you can drink too much Brother Yan, it depends on your ability to wait, hahaha......" Li Guoxin laughed loudly, when he talked to Li Yan just now, he asked about the temperament of the second daughter, so as not to mess up with the villagers and lose their manners.
Li Yan told the second daughter that she has often come to the army since she was a child, and she should be a heroine among women, and they are all informal people, Li Guoxin was overjoyed when he heard this, he was afraid that he would lose his manners if he came to greet him inconsiderately, and secondly, he was afraid that people were young ladies and hated this vulgar etiquette.
For a while, the place suddenly became lively, and the people who were close to it directly pulled several people to get together at a table, set up a row of bowls, picked up the wine jar on the ground, and patted the mud seal, like a long whale spitting water, and the curtain was full of the aroma of wine.
After the children experienced the initial caution, tentatively and secretly stretched out their little hands to take a few of their favorite foods, and saw that the adults were not as usual at home to reprimand, talking and drinking on their own, but their courage gradually increased, and finally some picked up a big chicken leg, or picked up a small bowl of animal meat, and chased and frolicked between the tables, and for a time the crisp children's voices sounded far or near in the moonlight, and even the domestic dogs, who usually barked wildly as long as night fell, also lost their old temper, not waging their tails more happily, hoping to attract the attention of the people on the table, and throwing it a piece of deliciousness; , making a whimpering sound of food protection.
Aunt Chang even picked a few girls or women who knew etiquette and had seen some of the world's faces sitting with Gong. Zhao Erren, these people from the initial restraint, see that although the second daughter is cold, but also polite, for the question is not annoyed, slowly change the words, from a girl in the village to open the question, slowly asked about the second daughter's life experience, although the second daughter is not familiar with the world, but extremely smart, occasionally pick some can say a few words, can not say is a light smile, for a while, the atmosphere here is not much better than those wine on the table.
Just chatting and chatting, even these women didn't pay attention, they slowly turned the topic to Li Yan, one of which was that Aunt Chang proudly mentioned her fifth child from time to time; second, it was also the first time to meet the second daughter, the only common topic was Li Yan as a bridge; third, intentionally or unintentionally, the second daughter seemed to want to lead the topic to Li Yan.
Gradually, Li Yan's various things were touched by the second daughter, even at what age she wet the bed, when she learned to walk, and who was worried about it, she knew it one by one, and the second daughter who listened occasionally lowered her head to hide her chuckle.
And Li Yan didn't know anything, in this atmosphere, he didn't release his divine sense at all to eavesdrop on who said what, but was chatting and drinking with Li Yu, Li Shan, Li Wei, and a few playmates who grew up since childhood.
Li Yu still has an apron around his waist, he is thin and tall, a head shorter than Li Yan and Li Shan, just because he is thin, but he also looks tall. He was picked up from the city by Li Shan on a fast horse in the evening, and when he came back, he became the chef tonight, and at this moment the white skin was already a little red, "Brother Yan, you said that you wanted to taste my craftsmanship, but after that farewell, there was no news of you, but now I want to try it, come on, you try this 'Golden Crispy Lingwei Chicken', it has a trace of first-class demon beast blood, plus golden slippery powder, flying beard branches, ......" He said as he pointed to a plate of charred and crispy meat on the table with chopsticks.
Li Yan nodded with a smile, directly clamped a piece and put it in his mouth, suddenly felt that his teeth and cheeks were full of relish, and his entrance was crisp and smooth, he couldn't help but give Li Yan a thumbs up, he was not hypocritical, but really felt delicious, with the increase of cultivation, now even if he does not eat and drink "Bigu Dan", he does not eat or drink for several months, and he can keep his body in the best state just by breathing in the weather aura. Today, after eating these delicacies carefully cooked by Li Yu, his long-lost appetite was hooked, and he couldn't help but move his index finger, he couldn't help but glance at Gong Chenying and Zhao Min who were surrounded by several people at the main table on the other side, and found that the second daughter was also constantly picking up the food and putting it in her mouth to chew, and couldn't help but smile in her heart, it seems that even immortal cultivators are not spared.
Li Shan and a few childhood friends next to him, occasionally peeked at Gong, Zhao Ernu, even more amazing in his eyes, and then a few people looked at each other, and they frequently raised the wine bowl to Li Yan, Li Yan smiled and drank one by one, how did he not know the thoughts of these people, since they met, he kept trying to get words from his mouth, to confirm whether the two daughters were interested in Li Yan, and Li Yan did not express his position, nor did he deny it, several of them finally made a private bet to see who would find out the truth from Li Yan's mouth first, but they all knew Li Yan's character, and he didn't say much since he was a child, but his mind was extremely alert, watching the excitement from the side.
With Li Yan's cultivation now, don't say ten bowls, twenty bowls, even a hundred bowls, a thousand bowls, he doesn't even need to get up, the spiritual power is turned into a trace of mist from the hair, but tonight he didn't do this, but forced to drink with everyone, after all, his physique is extraordinary, not to mention that he has the world's top refining methods such as Qiqi Purgatory Technique, after drinking three bowls with seven or eight people, his face is still as usual, but the seven or eight people drink dizzy.
